Abstract
In this paper, we focus our attention on the representation of linguistic negation of nuanced information in knowledge-based systems. The linguistic negation presented here uses a compatibility level and tolerance threshold based upon neighborhood and similarity relations. Their combination allows us to choose the reference frame from which the possible values of a linguistic negation of A appearing in the statement “x is not A” will be extracted. This new approach to negation takes into account linguistic analysis of negation and leads to intended properties in common sense reasoning.
